Effects of Technology on the Cognitive and Physical...
As our generations and technological world has vastly began to develop and expand rapidly, a repeated debate of whether technology use for young
babies and children is beneficial or harmful to the physical and cognitive development of the child. As research has taken place to determine more
answers around this topic, experts and parents from all different generations cast their opinion on the matter.
Research in New Zealand states that 'Almost one in five of the 2–year–olds in the study were also regularly active on home computers, tablets and
other mobile devices' (Russell Blackstock, 2014). Benefits from using media and technology from a young age, suggest an increase in vocabulary,
numeracy and social skills, through television programs that show cooperative behaviour. (Raising Children Networks, 2014) state that, it's particularly
'helpful if you get involved with your child and her use of media – for example, you can visit quality websites together, encourage use of educational
software, and view TV shows offering extra learning opportunities.' This leads to engagement with the content e.g. repeating and acknowledgement of
words, numbers and objects, decision making skills. Even from a young age babies can develop knowledge for culture, problem solving skills and an
early grasp of technology use, which will largely shape the generation they live in.
Downsides are also present towards your baby using technology. The time that your baby spends on a technology device,

Teens And Teen Pregnancy
As us females were young we all seem to become mothers, by playing with dolls, and playing house with others our age. It may be easy for us to
say that as children we thought they needed some assistance, but in reality that was only our imagination. As little kids did we really think about
what it would be like to really have a baby? We were children, but see the thing here is that teens are still children who are having other children. 16
year olds do not just wake up thinking they want to have a baby, most of the time it just happens without being planned. Teens often do not think
about what life would be like as a parent which is easy to happen and we should be informed on the reasons why and what it really is like. The first
reason why a girl can easily get pregnant is not being informed about contraceptives. There are about 1,700 school–based health centers nationwide in
which about в…“ provide contraceptives. Sexual education is very important when it comes to this, there are states that still require parents to sign off
their children receiving any sexual education in schools, in which many of the cases the parents and their kids are too embarrassed to talk about.
Although it is the parent's responsibility to talk about it, they do not. When a teen is sexually active, it is important for them to let a parent know, so
that they can get checked. Another possible reason can be unwanted sex. According to Teenhelp.com four in ten girls first experience happens at age 13

Teenage Pregnancy Sections I And II
Topic: Teenage Pregnancy Sections I and II
Primary Audience: My primary audience is the citizens of the U.S.; this includes tax payers, parents, state officials, education officials and teen moms.
In the U.S. we have several teens that are experiencing unprotected sex, without any knowledge of pregnancy prevention or sex education. When teen
girls become pregnant, this also affects the parents. This is a huge responsibility and burden for all involved parties. Health benefits are needed for both
the teen mom and the unborn child.
Thesis Statement: Teen pregnancy is an important topic in the United States. When teen girls become a mom at such an early age, it comes with a
huge responsibility and can become a burden on teens. Teens are not prepared for these responsibilities.
пѓ TS: When teens have babies at such a young age it comes with challenges and expenses.
пѓ TS: Continuing their education can be challenging as well.

Teenage Birth Control Essay
Repercussion In this generation, people do not take responsibility for their actions anymore. More pre–teens are having sex; therefore, they are having
more babies than adults. In response, a child is basically raising another child. The young females do not understand the negative outcome sexual
intercourse may have on them. Something needs to be forced to stop young females from having babies at a young age, and birth control may be the
best answer for the crisis of teenaged pregnancies. Birth control has been around for many years, and it is constantly improving to help out our
upcoming teens. Once the young girls start their first menstrual cycle, their bodies start changing, and birth control can be prescribed. It can be
prescribed by the doctor, the clinic, or the health department. The girls should get them because there are too many teenagers having babies, and they
cannot afford to take care of them. Most parents do not want their child on birth control because they think they are giving their child permission to
have sex. Once the girls get on birth control, they are going to feel like they are mature. Their attitudes may change because they think do not have to
listen to their parents. Parents feel as if birth control will boost their daughters' hormones, and they will want to have sex. In most cases, sexual
activity may not be the only reason birth control is prescribed. Birth control may not have a positive effect on the pre–teens. The girls may experience

Ruining A Baby
Having a baby at a young age does not ruin someone but it can inspire, a baby can become a muse. Many people say that having a baby at a young age
can ruin our lives. I would like to differ, I believe a baby does not ruin our lives. I think that if a teenager has a baby and wants to keep moving forward
with life and school we will put our children first, but if a teen has a baby and decides to drop out of school than that is where the parent messes up

Teen Pregnancy
Teen Pregnancy:
Babies Having Babies!
Deondra Crenshaw
Virginia College
Nur. 2320
10/4/2017
You're still a baby yourself! This is the first thought that comes to mind when I see a teenager with child. Even though it's extremely disturbing to
see, it has become more and more common these days. Is this the new "trend"? Or should we question the parenting skills the child is receiving?
Maybe this girl has been messed with by a relative or a family member. Whatever the case maybe, how can we help these kids in preventing pregnancy
at an early age. Lets try to figure out where we went wrong as parents, caregivers, nurses, etc. in raising and educating these babies about having
babies. In 2014, there were 24.2 births for every 1,000 adolescent females ages 15–19, that is 249, 078 babies born to females in this age range and
nearly 89% of these birth occurred outside of marriage (Office of Adolescent Health, 2016). According to the CDC, in 2015, a total of 229,715 babies
were born to women aged 15–19 years, for a birth rate of 22.3 per 1,000 women in this age group. What's even more disturbing, not all teen
pregnancies are the their first pregnancy. In 2014, one in six births (that's 17%) to these 15–19 year olds were females that who have already been
pregnant and have had one or two babies already (Office of Adolescent Health, 2016). Even though we can't predict what a teenager would do or even
make a teenage act accordingly when unsupervised, we can instill in them factors that may just influence them in a positive way. "A child plays
attention to more than you think", is a phrase that i've heard many times from my elders; this is a true fact. Children are very much aware of their
surroundings, in which, plays a major role in their upbringing. In saying this, many people, family members, and the communities that these teens live
in have been connected to these high numbers in these youth having babies. Social determinants of health are conditions in the environments in which
people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality–of–life outcomes and risks (CDC,

Teenage Pregnancy At A Young Age
In order for a child to grow and prosper, a stable environment should be in place. Without a stable environment, it can cause that child to act out and
chaos will be a result of that. During teenage years, kids will often experiment with the opposite sex due to curiosity and things they are learning from
their peers. Teenagepregnancy has many outside influences besides the individual themselves, one being the media. The teen's sex education level can
explain a lot about the knowledge they have on the topic. Pregnancy at a young age is becoming more prevalent for more reasons than one.
Teen pregnancy rates have seemed to be increasing remarkably in the United States, as oppose to westernized countries. Influences linked to affecting

A trend of early marriage and parenthood was very popular amongst the middle class during the 1900s. In the 1900s, only 1/3 of females had their
first child before twenty years old. Researchers have said that this put an immense amount of pressure on teen girls about having to be married if they
were pregnant, so this led to many young couples getting married at age twenty or younger. Today, statistics show 80% of teen pregnancies are reported
unintended. That's quite a difference.
The epidemic of teens becoming pregnant ends up hurting the young women in more ways than one. Unprotected sex is beginning to occur more
frequently. Most teens understand the risks and consequences of engaging in sexual behaviors at such a young age; however, they don't seem to take
any precautions to prevent pregnancy from occurring. Teens often want to experiment when they see their peers, and people they look up to, doing
such acts.
In these circumstances, the media is to blame. The television airs shows such as "Teen Mom" and "16 and Pregnant" which are supposed to prevent
teens from making the same mistakes as some of the young girls featured on the shows. "16 and Pregnant" shows the reality and struggle all these
teens encounter while being pregnant, as well as after giving birth. "Teen Mom", however, shows these young girls lives caring for their baby 24/7,
while finishing school or working full time. You would think

How To Put Teens On Birth Control
Whether or not to put teens on birth control is a very difficult decision. 81% of today's teens, ages 15–18, are using a contraceptive method. (Facts On
American Teens') People, especially parents, ask themselves if teens should be on any type of birth control. Parents believe that by putting their kids on
birth control, teens might think that they are giving them the okay to be sexually active. The best option is for teenagers to be on some type of
contraceptive. In reality, teens make their own decisions, all parents tell them not to have sex, but at the end of the day they are the ones to make that
decision. It is better to prevent than to regret the consequences. By putting teens on contraceptive, it will help prevent against unplanned pregnancies
and sexually transmitted infections.
Married couples that have a baby think it is a gift from God, but it can be the exact opposite for a teen. Statistics show that almost 750,000 U.S

Not all that long afterwards they had a daughter" (985). They were both young and with not so much responsibility until the baby. Raising a child at

Teen Cirnancy : The Consequences Of Teen Pregnancy
If Someone Would Of Told Me
High school can be the best four years of your life. As soon as you come in a lot of things change. There is friendships developed, puberty changes,
more partying than ever, and everyone wants to have sex just to look cool. But in reality, what are the consequences after having unprotected sex; teen
pregnancy. Teen pregnancy comes with many negative consequences such as financial needs, education, stress, and having to wrap up your childhood
quickly.
The United States has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the world. 3 to 10 teen American girls will get pregnant at least once before the age of
20 (11 Facts). Most of these pregnancies are unplanned. Why is there so many unplanned pregnancies? Its simple teens do not realize the mess they are
getting themselves into once they have unprotected sex. They have unprotected sex because there is no way they can get protection without adults
wondering what they are gonna be using protection for. But that is the problem teenagers cannot confront their parents or any adults about getting
protection for themselves. Instead, they go and have sex not realizing the risks they can face. On the other hand, everything is more updated and this
generation is way more advanced than any generation. Adults should really start giving some sex education classes since kids are in 6th grade; because
that is when most girls start getting their menstrual cycle and when both boys and girls hormones are everywhere. Schools should consider having sex
education classes for their teens. Sometimes teens will not talk with their parent about this topic since it is uncomfortable so the school should try
talking to them about it. "90% of Americans believe that sex education should be taught in schools, meanwhile 82% support comprehensive programs
that teach students about both abstinence and methods to prevent pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases (Parks 73)." Having more
conversations about this topic will decrease the rate in teen pregnancies and will change the lives of many teens.

Abortions Abortion
All around the world, many of woman choose to abort their babies instead of keeping it. Sometimes young adult women around the ages of 18 get
pregnant and decide to also abort their unborn child. It's usually not because the woman carrying the child doesn't love their baby or want them,
most likely the mother of the child is either not in the right state of mind or even financially stable to have a baby. Many people, both females and
male criticize the mother for doing such a "bad" deed but in reality, a woman should feel the right to do what's best for her and her baby. Studies
have shown that about millions of females face unplanned pregnancies. Many of the women who get pregnant tend to abort the unborn child.
Research has proved that about 4 out of 10 women get abortions because they feel that it's the safest thing to do for them and their baby. Taking the
strength and courage to abort an unborn baby is a decision that only you can make with yourself and your doctor. Many women take aborting a baby
to a personal way and they eventually get depressed because other negative people consider them as "bad mothers". First of all, one of the reasons
why young adults have abortions is because they're young and most women are scared that their parents might kick them out of the house for

Early School Leavers Case Study
Early School Leavers;
The legal definition of early school leaving refers to non–participation in school before reaching the age of 16 years or before completing 3 years
post–primary education, whichever is later. A more specific definition of early school leavers is those who leave the education system without a
minimum of 5 passes in the Leaving Certificate or equivalent qualification. Young people who leave education without recognised qualifications are at
a disadvantage in the labour market and are at increased risk of poverty and social exclusion (Information, 2013).
The proportion of persons ages 18–24 who left school with, at most, a lower secondary education in Ireland was 9.7% in 2012. The EU average rate
was 12.8% and in Ireland is behind average compared to Europe (Central Statistics Office, 2016).
Beth has completed her Junior Certificate but has yet to complete her Leaving Certificate. Unfortunately, Beth will not be returning to school due to her
pregnancy. This may influence Beth when looking for employment so that she can support herself and her baby, without an education. From the case
study we can see that Beth has no real career aspirations and this may have an effect on returning to education after she has her baby.

Teen Pregnancy in the United States
Teen pregnancy is more prevalent in the United States, than one would think. Even though the number of pregnancies has lowered, there are still an
estimated 31pregnancies per 1000 teens. Unfortunately, there are immense consequences from teen pregnancy. These occurrences are due to many
circumstances that can be changed, such as, more education, peer pressure, and today's culture. However, there are ways to prevent all this from
happening; using contraception, being aware, or even abstaining from it. Teenpregnancy is an ongoing issue in our country with many causes that can
be changed by taking preventative measures to keep teens from suffering consequences that will change their lives forever. There are many causes of
teen pregnancy, but let's focus on the top three issues. The lack of education is something that needs to be changed. Parents should take more time and
discuss the causes and the effects that can arise from being intimate with someone and "we must ensure that parents, along with school are teaching up
to date, medically accurate information" (Kasher n.p). Cultures may also affect this. Our teens are growing up in a generation where sex is a normal
pass time. The media uses sex to draw in teens to get them to buy the latest style jeans or even the next new scintillating fragrance (VanLenten n.p).

Teen Pregnancy Essay
Teen Pregnancy
Nearly thirteen percent of all births in the United States were teenage girls from the ages fifteen to nineteen. Almost one million teenagers become
pregnant each year and about 485,00 give birth. In many situations the answer to keeping a relationship going is to have a good sex life. Most teen
relationships are based on sex. This is one of the main reasons why teenage birth rates are so high. I am a good person to make a case for this topic
because I have witnessed from a family member how difficult it is to be a teenager and also have to raise and support a child. This issue shouldn't

There are multiple ways to avoid getting pregnant. But the main way is abstinence. By performing abstinence there is no way that a teenage girl could
end up with a baby. Even though there are main selling products such as condoms, the morning after pill, and even birth control, it is proven that even
those aren't one hundred percent productive.
Teen pregnancy in my opinion is a terrible situation. I feel as if young women shouldn't be having kids at such a young age. These teenagers that are
having babies are kids themselves, they don't know how to take care of a baby as well as an older more mature women might. Very few teenagers
have jobs, therefore it could be hard to support the baby. They would most likely have to drop out of school and get at least three jobs just to pay
for diapers, clothes, and food. Many others are also lucky, some teen mothers actually receive help from either their parents, or their partners. For

a show called "16 and pregnant" produced by Morgan J. Freeman. MTV also, came out with a spinoff series called Teen Mom also produced by
Morgan J. Freeman. When the these shows first aired many parents were concerned with their young teens watching the show. Parents were hesitant
to allow their children to view such a show and questions arose. Were these shows going to encourage teens to have sex at such a young age or

Sociological Imagination And The Teen Birth Rate
Are most people familiar with the term "sociological imagination"? What is sociological imagination? Sociological imagination is realizing the
difference in the society and how the society influence people lives. How high is the teen birth rate in the United States? Could someone relate teenage
birth rates to sociological imagination? Teen relate to their experiences with the wider society. Sociological imagination and the teen birth rate can be
joined together because of past history, family history, and self–esteem.
How young was people having babies around the 60s? Were those teens affected by society as the teen are today? Around 1960, there was an average
of 24% of teen births of ages 15–17(Ventura and Freedman). Teens not today as in 2014 can look back around 1960 and see how the teens then had
babies that young. Past history can affect the teen society because when they learn about their past, sometimes teens tend to admire those people as
their remodel and if they had a baby as a teen then that teen would have been affected by their past. In the 1960, teen birth was high for then but is
way higher now, but teens still learn about the past and has a huge affect on the teens and even the adults of today in the society is affected by the

Does The TV Show "16 & Pregnant" Promote or Discourage Teenage Pregnancy? Do you think "16 & pregnant" promotes teenage pregnancy or

that some teens are not financially ready to support a baby, teens have lack of experience with how to take care of a baby, and more importantly it is
just like Kids Raising Kids. In my opinion, the solutions to teenage pregnancy could be that the girls show it is not easy and/or fun to have a baby so
young, parents teach their kids a lesson, and for the show to promote ways to help teens stay non–pregnant. One of the problems for having a baby at

Whether it was using a condom, being on birth control, or just not having sex at all those teens have stopped getting pregnant at such a young age.
Some may say the TV show "16 & pregnant" only promotes teens to get pregnant at such a young age but it is not true. As I've watched the show
and even went on their website it shows a lot that they are trying to discourage young teens to not get pregnant. For example, 16 and pregnant was
originally designed by MTV to show viewers (mostly young women) what life as a pregnant teen was really like. Every time the show airs, MTV
promotes a website calledStayTeen.org that "encourage[s] you to enjoy your teen years and avoid the responsibilities that come with too–early
pregnancy and parenting." The site provides information about birth control, STDs and dating abuse. This quote was originally found on their website

Effects Of Technology On The Cognitive And Physical...

  • 1. Effects of Technology on the Cognitive and Physical... As our generations and technological world has vastly began to develop and expand rapidly, a repeated debate of whether technology use for young babies and children is beneficial or harmful to the physical and cognitive development of the child. As research has taken place to determine more answers around this topic, experts and parents from all different generations cast their opinion on the matter. Research in New Zealand states that 'Almost one in five of the 2–year–olds in the study were also regularly active on home computers, tablets and other mobile devices' (Russell Blackstock, 2014). Benefits from using media and technology from a young age, suggest an increase in vocabulary, numeracy and social skills, through television programs that show cooperative behaviour. (Raising Children Networks, 2014) state that, it's particularly 'helpful if you get involved with your child and her use of media – for example, you can visit quality websites together, encourage use of educational software, and view TV shows offering extra learning opportunities.' This leads to engagement with the content e.g. repeating and acknowledgement of words, numbers and objects, decision making skills. Even from a young age babies can develop knowledge for culture, problem solving skills and an early grasp of technology use, which will largely shape the generation they live in. Downsides are also present towards your baby using technology. The time that your baby spends on a technology device, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Teens And Teen Pregnancy As us females were young we all seem to become mothers, by playing with dolls, and playing house with others our age. It may be easy for us to say that as children we thought they needed some assistance, but in reality that was only our imagination. As little kids did we really think about what it would be like to really have a baby? We were children, but see the thing here is that teens are still children who are having other children. 16 year olds do not just wake up thinking they want to have a baby, most of the time it just happens without being planned. Teens often do not think about what life would be like as a parent which is easy to happen and we should be informed on the reasons why and what it really is like. The first reason why a girl can easily get pregnant is not being informed about contraceptives. There are about 1,700 school–based health centers nationwide in which about в…“ provide contraceptives. Sexual education is very important when it comes to this, there are states that still require parents to sign off their children receiving any sexual education in schools, in which many of the cases the parents and their kids are too embarrassed to talk about. Although it is the parent's responsibility to talk about it, they do not. When a teen is sexually active, it is important for them to let a parent know, so that they can get checked. Another possible reason can be unwanted sex. According to Teenhelp.com four in ten girls first experience happens at age 13 ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Teenage Pregnancy Sections I And II Topic: Teenage Pregnancy Sections I and II Primary Audience: My primary audience is the citizens of the U.S.; this includes tax payers, parents, state officials, education officials and teen moms. In the U.S. we have several teens that are experiencing unprotected sex, without any knowledge of pregnancy prevention or sex education. When teen girls become pregnant, this also affects the parents. This is a huge responsibility and burden for all involved parties. Health benefits are needed for both the teen mom and the unborn child. Thesis Statement: Teen pregnancy is an important topic in the United States. When teen girls become a mom at such an early age, it comes with a huge responsibility and can become a burden on teens. Teens are not prepared for these responsibilities. пѓ TS: When teens have babies at such a young age it comes with challenges and expenses. пѓ TS: Continuing their education can be challenging as well. Introduction: oSamantha, a fourteen year old teenager became pregnant in High School. The teen didn't realize she was pregnant with twins. Samantha's body was too weak to carry both, so she lost one of them. Burying one of her babies at such an early age was devastating. Samantha was faced with several issues at the same time. Her parents were also on drugs, which didn't help with being pregnant as a teenager. This was a lot for Samantha to deal with.

  • 4. Teenage Birth Control Essay Repercussion In this generation, people do not take responsibility for their actions anymore. More pre–teens are having sex; therefore, they are having more babies than adults. In response, a child is basically raising another child. The young females do not understand the negative outcome sexual intercourse may have on them. Something needs to be forced to stop young females from having babies at a young age, and birth control may be the best answer for the crisis of teenaged pregnancies. Birth control has been around for many years, and it is constantly improving to help out our upcoming teens. Once the young girls start their first menstrual cycle, their bodies start changing, and birth control can be prescribed. It can be prescribed by the doctor, the clinic, or the health department. The girls should get them because there are too many teenagers having babies, and they cannot afford to take care of them. Most parents do not want their child on birth control because they think they are giving their child permission to have sex. Once the girls get on birth control, they are going to feel like they are mature. Their attitudes may change because they think do not have to listen to their parents. Parents feel as if birth control will boost their daughters' hormones, and they will want to have sex. In most cases, sexual activity may not be the only reason birth control is prescribed. Birth control may not have a positive effect on the pre–teens. The girls may experience ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Mainly because now she or both young adults has to face reality on how much it contends to be in being in the position that they're parents had went through with them. At this time it becomes her responsibility. Making it more difficult because as she's learning to take care of the baby, the baby has a constant imprints on the mother. Whatever she does and teaches, the baby is going to take after her. Meaning however the baby grows, whether its a boy or girl. She or he takes her personality and make it their own. It all goes down from carrying the baby to sitting in the hospital delivering the baby to continuously having to get stuff that are needed for the baby, till they grow up and be on their own. Everything starts to be a cost when having a baby in the picture. Unless the parents and friends of the daughter or son are helping out and paying most of the bills and so on. It may not be as hard or difficult. In other words if a teen mom remains to be on her own and by her self. She has to go and find a job. Now that she has a job, she has to go find a babysitter.

I would like to differ, I believe a baby does not ruin our lives. I think that if a teenager has a baby and wants to keep moving forward with life and school we will put our children first, but if a teen has a baby and decides to drop out of school than that is where the parent messes up not the baby. A baby does not choose to be created and be brought into this world, it is us make the decision. When I had my baby I made an oath to never drop out of school even when times got rough.

  • 7. Teen Pregnancy Teen Pregnancy: Babies Having Babies! Deondra Crenshaw Virginia College Nur. 2320 10/4/2017 You're still a baby yourself! This is the first thought that comes to mind when I see a teenager with child. Even though it's extremely disturbing to see, it has become more and more common these days. Is this the new "trend"? Or should we question the parenting skills the child is receiving? Maybe this girl has been messed with by a relative or a family member. Whatever the case maybe, how can we help these kids in preventing pregnancy at an early age. Lets try to figure out where we went wrong as parents, caregivers, nurses, etc. in raising and educating these babies about having babies. In 2014, there were 24.2 births for every 1,000 adolescent females ages 15–19, that is 249, 078 babies born to females in this age range and nearly 89% of these birth occurred outside of marriage (Office of Adolescent Health, 2016). According to the CDC, in 2015, a total of 229,715 babies were born to women aged 15–19 years, for a birth rate of 22.3 per 1,000 women in this age group. What's even more disturbing, not all teen pregnancies are the their first pregnancy. In 2014, one in six births (that's 17%) to these 15–19 year olds were females that who have already been pregnant and have had one or two babies already (Office of Adolescent Health, 2016). Even though we can't predict what a teenager would do or even make a teenage act accordingly when unsupervised, we can instill in them factors that may just influence them in a positive way. "A child plays attention to more than you think", is a phrase that i've heard many times from my elders; this is a true fact. Children are very much aware of their surroundings, in which, plays a major role in their upbringing. In saying this, many people, family members, and the communities that these teens live in have been connected to these high numbers in these youth having babies. Social determinants of health are conditions in the environments in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality–of–life outcomes and risks (CDC, 2016).

  • 8. Teenage Pregnancy At A Young Age In order for a child to grow and prosper, a stable environment should be in place. Without a stable environment, it can cause that child to act out and chaos will be a result of that. During teenage years, kids will often experiment with the opposite sex due to curiosity and things they are learning from their peers. Teenagepregnancy has many outside influences besides the individual themselves, one being the media. The teen's sex education level can explain a lot about the knowledge they have on the topic. Pregnancy at a young age is becoming more prevalent for more reasons than one. Teen pregnancy rates have seemed to be increasing remarkably in the United States, as oppose to westernized countries. Influences linked to affecting teen ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... A trend of early marriage and parenthood was very popular amongst the middle class during the 1900s. In the 1900s, only 1/3 of females had their first child before twenty years old. Researchers have said that this put an immense amount of pressure on teen girls about having to be married if they were pregnant, so this led to many young couples getting married at age twenty or younger. Today, statistics show 80% of teen pregnancies are reported unintended. That's quite a difference. The epidemic of teens becoming pregnant ends up hurting the young women in more ways than one. Unprotected sex is beginning to occur more frequently. Most teens understand the risks and consequences of engaging in sexual behaviors at such a young age; however, they don't seem to take any precautions to prevent pregnancy from occurring. Teens often want to experiment when they see their peers, and people they look up to, doing such acts. In these circumstances, the media is to blame. The television airs shows such as "Teen Mom" and "16 and Pregnant" which are supposed to prevent teens from making the same mistakes as some of the young girls featured on the shows. "16 and Pregnant" shows the reality and struggle all these teens encounter while being pregnant, as well as after giving birth. "Teen Mom", however, shows these young girls lives caring for their baby 24/7, while finishing school or working full time. You would think ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 11. How To Put Teens On Birth Control Whether or not to put teens on birth control is a very difficult decision. 81% of today's teens, ages 15–18, are using a contraceptive method. (Facts On American Teens') People, especially parents, ask themselves if teens should be on any type of birth control. Parents believe that by putting their kids on birth control, teens might think that they are giving them the okay to be sexually active. The best option is for teenagers to be on some type of contraceptive. In reality, teens make their own decisions, all parents tell them not to have sex, but at the end of the day they are the ones to make that decision. It is better to prevent than to regret the consequences. By putting teens on contraceptive, it will help prevent against unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. Married couples that have a baby think it is a gift from God, but it can be the exact opposite for a teen. Statistics show that almost 750,000 U.S teens become pregnant and 79% are unmarried each year (Facts On American Teens) Teens don't think of the conflicts that come with raising a baby, they just imagine themselves being parents.

  • 13. Everything Stuck To Him By Raymond Carver Summary Age does negatively affect the ability of two people to achieve the life they want, raise a child, and maintain a relationship. In "Everything Stuck to Him" by Raymond Carver, the boy and the girl can't live a life they want. Carver states "They were kids themselves, but they were crazy in love... Not all that long afterwards they had a daughter" (985). They were both young and with not so much responsibility until the baby. Raising a child at a young age is also very difficult at a young age. Raymond shows us this when he says "I don't know what's wrong, the girl said, walking back and forth with the baby" (986). The girl seems stressed because she can't figure out what is wrong with the baby. The boy wanted to go out with his friends, but the girl didn't let him.

Raising a baby at a young age can be difficult without the experience. My brother and his wife would always be over to get help with their little girl. They were kids themselves, so they didn't have as much experience with raising a baby. When you start a family you plan on having your own home and age can also affect that.

  • 14. Teen Cirnancy : The Consequences Of Teen Pregnancy If Someone Would Of Told Me High school can be the best four years of your life. As soon as you come in a lot of things change. There is friendships developed, puberty changes, more partying than ever, and everyone wants to have sex just to look cool. But in reality, what are the consequences after having unprotected sex; teen pregnancy. Teen pregnancy comes with many negative consequences such as financial needs, education, stress, and having to wrap up your childhood quickly. The United States has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the world. 3 to 10 teen American girls will get pregnant at least once before the age of 20 (11 Facts). Most of these pregnancies are unplanned. Why is there so many unplanned pregnancies? Its simple teens do not realize the mess they are getting themselves into once they have unprotected sex. They have unprotected sex because there is no way they can get protection without adults wondering what they are gonna be using protection for. But that is the problem teenagers cannot confront their parents or any adults about getting protection for themselves. Instead, they go and have sex not realizing the risks they can face. On the other hand, everything is more updated and this generation is way more advanced than any generation. Adults should really start giving some sex education classes since kids are in 6th grade; because that is when most girls start getting their menstrual cycle and when both boys and girls hormones are everywhere.
